  • Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer As Critic
    Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Swinburne University of Technology Jason Bainbridge Lawyer as critic: analysing the legal thriller through the works of John Grisham, Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee Abstract: Focusing on selected ‘classic’ novels by John Grisham, with reference to how they are informed by the earlier works of Erle Stanley Gardner and Harper Lee, this paper explores how these authors, writing in the legal thriller genre, present their lawyer protagonists as critics of both the law and the legal systems of which they are a part. Both Gardner’s and Grisham’s writings have been the focus of much criticism from legal scholars who suggest they are unduly critical of lawyers and provide outlandishly happy endings. This article challenges these criticisms by analysing how Gardner’s and Grisham’s narratives explore notions of law’s contingency on crime and materiality. In this way the article concludes that these narratives offer a way of understanding how just practitioners can operate in an unjust system and therefore constitute a powerful interrogation of how law operates. Biographical note: Jason Bainbridge is Professor and Chair of Media and Communication at Swinburne University of Technology. He has published widely on popular cultural representations of law and justice in print, on film and on television, media convergence, merchandising and material culture. He is co-author of the textbook Media and Journalism: New Approaches to Theory Practice (3rd ed, OUP, 2015) and is currently working on a monograph around media franchises. Keywords: Creative writing – Crime fiction – Legal Thriller – Postmaterial Law – Popular Culture TEXT Special Issue 37: Crime fiction and the creative/critical nexus 1 eds Rachel Franks, Jesper Gulddal and Alistair Rolls, October 2016 Bainbridge Lawyer as critic Introduction The lawyer has always occupied an unusual position in crime fiction, simultaneously a figure of reverence and revulsion.

The pilot occurred in two parts, with the first part being a special hour-long broadcast of The Adventures of Superman (normally presented as half-hour episodes) and the second being an hour-long pilot for Perry Mason. Unfortunately, the people behind Perry Mason decided to scrap their pilot after realizing that the intrepid lawyer and his stories should be wholly based on science, not science fiction and fantasy, which is what The Adventures of Superman involved. This also meant scrapping the backdoor pilot – the special hour-long episode of The Adventures of Superman. Of course, none of the above actually happened. No, it didn’t, but it is a “fun” way of imagining how these two beloved television series could be linked with one another.

  • The Many Deaths of Peggie Castle Jake Hinkson
    The Many Deaths of Peggie Castle Jake Hinkson n Hollywood’s Golden Age, beauty was turned into a commodity, one found in abundance and renewed with each out-of-town bus. Thousands of lovely young women cycled through the system, had their physical attributes capital- ized upon, and wound up back on the street with little more than the handful of cash it would take to get back home. Of these unlucky multitudes, few lived long enough to see themselves become a new kind of star: the rediscovered filmI noir icon, the object of scholarly study and geek adoration. 42 NOIR CITY I SUMMER 2013 I filmnoirfoundation.org Though a lot of actresses played the doomed bad girl, Peggie Castle seemed to embody the ethos somehow. Something about her seemed dangerous—which is another way of saying, perhaps, that something about her threatened men. With her low, smoky voice and skeptical green eyes, she wasn’t hot, she was cool. She never seemed to lose con- trol. Her sensuality always seemed to be hers to do with as she pleased, a tool to get what she wanted. If this was her innate quality as an actor, then she was made to suffer for it in film after film. That cool quality seemed to reflect the real woman as well. Well- educated and ambitious, she had a caustic wit about most things, and she evinced few romantic illusions about the business she’d cho- sen for herself. “The difference between an old fashioned kiss and a movie kiss,” she said once, “is about 1500 feet of film.” She lived a disconnected life from the beginning.
